Special Supplication
Ayesha relates that "(once) I asked the Apostle of God (SAW) if I came to know which was Shabi-I-Qadr, what prayer should I make in it. The Prophet replied: Allahumma innaka ‘afuwan karimun tuhibbul ‘afuwa fa-‘af’anni. (O God ! Thou art, indeed, the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful, and to forgive is most pleasing to Thee; so, forgive me my sins)’."
Musnad-e-Ahmad, Tirimidhi and Ibn-e-Majah
Commentary: Persuaded by this Tradition, a number of bondsmen have made it a regular habit to recite this prayer every night, specially in the nights of Ramadhan and more so still during the odd nights of the last ten days of it.
